Via AMERICAblog:
* <Latin Nerd>Cato the Elder’s famous saying “Carthago delenda est” uses the passive periphrastic form of the second-conjugation verb deleo (delere, delevi, deletus/-a/-um), which means to destroy or erase. In order to make the phrase relevant to JetBlue’s submission to O’Reilly’s “Victory Through Intimidation” tactics, I changed the phrase to be in perfect passive form.</Latin Nerd>
